I've been working on this for a while, I just have one more thing to do and this will go into production just enough for me and some others interested. once done it'll be a drop in LED panel, as of today I have one side with the LEDs and another with regular stock bulbs, to see how they compare and how they perform, so far no electrical problems, they work as they are suppose to, I just have to slightly change the shape of the panel so it'll get closer to the lens, right now is a snug fit so, it doesn't go as close as I would like to. The pictures are not that great cause I took them in cold / wind / rainy weather so I rushed to it. feedback is needed / appreciated   --------------------  |

IMHO if you're going to go to all the trouble of hacking the lights and installing panels with LEDs, you should at least have the LEDs arranged in a circular pattern or something, otherwise there's not really a big enough difference to warrant all of the work...
But that's just my opinion. I would do two concentric circles, the outer being the taillight and the inner being the brake light. |

Don't you love it when you find the perfect word for the job. |

A U.K owner has done something like that to MR2 tails, and it looked the camel's conkers - I'll try to find the link -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's
